Sockeye Campground is one of the newest addition to the Redfish Lake area. As part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, the campground enjoys beautiful views of the Sawtooth Mountains and easy access to some wonderful backpacking country. There is a trail heading south from the south end of the campground. You might enjoy a hike on it.

Amenities

Campsites

Sockeye Campground has 20 RV campsites. I call them RV sites as there are no tent squares. The roads and driveways are paved and there is a cement pad in which the picnic table, cooking table, and fire ring are set.

Water

Sockeye Campground also enjoys a pressurized water system with okay flavor.

Restroom

Vault style outhouses which were clean and well stocked.

Firewood

Firewood is available through the camp host for $6.00 per bundle.

Pets

Pets are allowed in the campground on a leash only.

Handicap Access

The toilets are handicap accessible but one would want to choose the right site as many have stairs separating the driveway from the table area.

RV Dump Site

There is an RV dumping station at the central services area.

Host On-Site

There is a host but we did not meet them.

Phone Service

We didn't have reception with our ATT cell phones, but there is a pay phone at the Central Services area.

Garbage Services

Garbage service is available in bear resistant containers.
